GuiZhi-ShaoYao-ZhiMu decoction (GSZD) is a traditional Chinese herbal medication used to manage rheumatoid arthritis. Past scientific inquiries have confirmed its benefits, but these studies have yet to be systematically evaluated, prompting the authors to conduct a meta-analysis and review.
This study was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
The researchers concluded that GSZD may be as effective as, if not superior to, Western drugs in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Long-term research was recommended to confirm the efficacy and safety of using the medication.
